Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

B iocriminologists are making an active comeback today in promin- ent venues such as Criminology and the American Society of Criminology.Criminology and criminological theory generally are not only facing these conservative trends but meanwhile have lost touch with left-leaning and radical scholarship more prevalent in the 1960s.Crime, Critique and Utopia provides a much needed critical shot in the arm to criminology and criminological theory.Stemming from a meeting of the Conference of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control, Crime, Critique and Utopia reinvigorates this tradition in criminology with chapters on topics such as critical theory and the Frankfurt School tradition, utopia, anarchism, and praxis.Margaret Malloch and Bill Munro begin with a review of social and political theories of utopia and critique.Malloch and Munro show how these theories are put to work in criminological claims-making.The authors emphasize abolitionist and anarchist struggles for "changes in the entire mechanism of the distribution of punishment" (12).Malloch continues her engagement with these themes in the next chapter, which examines the relationship between utopia and justice, socialism, and community.She looks at how crime and criminalization are addressed in these three clusters of inquiry, arguing that "our critiques of criminal justice should lead us to propose alternatives that go far beyond current limited responses to 'crime', focusing instead on the eradication of social systems based on inequality and sustained by practices of criminalization" (40).Next, Munro examines meanings of crime, utopia, and critique in Frankfurt School expositions.He reflects on the impact of Punishment and Social Structure by Georg Rusche and Otto Kirchheimer and expands on its Frankfurt School foundation.Munro shows that subsequent Frankfurt School thinkers (e.g.Bloch, Lukács) tried to move beyond economic determinism offered and nuanced conceptualizations of utopia, class, critique, and culture.In the subsequent chapter, Michael Löwy investigates the relationship between Jewish messianism and psychoanalytic contributions to critical criminology.He considers Talmudic influence on early social

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
